I like the way you made a very clean look of the blue knife, very nicely done Wengel. 👍👍

[@RedBeardOps]

Man, great work with this build! I love the non-power-tool version.

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thanks James!

[@FBDerringer]

Had you not experienced the coping saw mishap, I wonder how many of us would have done the same. Thanks for taking one for the team. You gave me the education and confidence to try this! Great video!

[@Wengelsworkshop]

very cool good luck

[@charliebowen5071]

Concise, no xtra nonsense… liking the videos my friend… secret tip.. I noticed you have an etched finish.. two cool tips… drip like ten drops of oil (wd40 etc) into a cup of your etching mix which is ferric chloride… then slowly plunge the knife in and leave… the oil resists and you get a pattern like a Damascus… second cool tip… after ferric chloride submerge the blade in rat poison… watch the results!! Looks awesome

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thanks Charlie! Ill have to try that sometime

[@joki700]

I’ve really been wanting to get into bladesmithing… like REALLY bad. Been looking at belt grinders and kilns but you’ve given me a little motivation to try it with cheap tools first. If I love that long enduring process I’m bound to stick with the craft with the proper tools! Only thing I’ve ever liked about my chef job was using the knives… so thinking I’d enjoy my life a lot more if I could just make a living creating my beloved knives 😂

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Lol yes go for it! You can do it just have patience. Making things with your hands is extremely rewarding!

[@staggerleesmancave8987]

Love this video Cole. I love ‘em all. One of my favorite things is your brutal honesty. Showing every little pitfall and mistake. It truly helps us all learn even more. And might even give me the courage to start including all the goofs I make into my own videos! Well done brother.

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thanks Spencer!

[@BecksArmory]

Looks good!

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thank you for taking part!

[@koblades9076]

shaping the scales with the coping saw made me appreciate hand sanding!! hahahaha

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Yeah probably won't be doing it again any time soon lol

[@timtheflyguy]

Looks great......if you didn't bring to our attention the placement of the pins, I would've looked it over.....I am currently building this as my very first knife.....thank you for the very detailed video....Subscribed!!!!

[@TheHistorian-oz3xu]

You're probably the finest teacher I've seen on here

[@GardenGrafting]

Sir When did you make the cutting edge of the knife before quenching or before tempering ? Your voices and explanation are much better

[@Wengelsworkshop]

putting an actual cutting edge on the knife should be the absolute last thing you do. so after quench and after the knife is completely finished

[@michaelgiannini742]

I think it looks good ! Mistake or Not you did a good job. Very educational

[@venny21_21]

really cool

[@mark70s29]

Excellent video! Love the look and finish you've done.

[@HighRoad317]

You are a really great teacher, excellent explanations!!!

[@keithgoody7438]

both knives are awsome!

[@jessedunn6169]

Great finish. I got one coming just a lil more clean up

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thanks jesse! look forward to seeing it!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice job. It's looking really good. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thank you Jared!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

@@Wengelsworkshop your very welcome my friend.

[@pedroedgardobattaglia4984]

thank you ,great work !!

[@philochristos]

I think that knife looks great. You could recenter the pin by taking a little material off the back, making it a little more narrow.

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thanks Sam! And yeah I may still consider doing that.

[@mikec3820]

awesome howto videos thanks. gonna check out the other ones too. trying to make mini real knifes diy. stainless and files mostly lol. cherry branch that fell. got a angle grinder but think my dremmel might be better for tiny work tho.

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thanks Mike!

[@4wknives]

I think both turned out great. But I do like the composite scales a lot

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thanks Jay!

[@micklivi92]

After the heat treat, how did you get the final edge on it? Was that just using the sandpaper?

[@Old52Guy]

Fantastic tutorials!

[@jimmywilson1388]

Man that’s a bad ass knife… You’re just being OCD about the pin…😂 It looks awesome!

[@MrSoloun]

Good build and vid :)

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Thank you!

[@jasonhelmly5223]

What forge is the you are using. It looks simple

[@stevenshewfelt888]

next time grind the scales to the shape of the knife tang before glue up leaving about 3/8 of matieral so you can finish by sanding it down

[@zacharywilliams6499]

Trace the tang on the outside of one of the scales before glue up. Then trim to that line before you shape the handle…

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Yeah I 100% should have traced them to the outside.

[@jeffreyforth6442]

I like the acid etch... is it 100 percent strength? How long did you leave it in the acid bath? Thanks, J-

[@Wengelsworkshop]

generally i think people use distilled water and do roughly half and half or a third acid and 2/3rds water. i usually do baths for about 5 min and if i want it darker clean and repeat.

[@NajibRahman-xb1pq]

What should I do if my steel is already non magnetic?

[@Rew_]

Around how long did it take you to make this knife?

[@Wengelsworkshop]

maybe like 15 hours? not sure really.

[@OutInTheGarage]

Beautiful knife, if that pin placement bothers you to much I’d be glad to take it off your hands

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Lol. Thanks Patrick!

[@kendo1741]

used motor oil work okay?

[@Wengelsworkshop]

i would not recommend

[@nickfondrk3491]

What is that forge setup?

[@Wengelsworkshop]

type coffee can forge into the search and there are a bunch of videos showing how to make them

[@Cookinoutdoors]

Why do you need scale liners?

[@agentcovert]

Wow..8 months without a single video..We all miss your blade content..We know you didn't just stop making blades..show us what you have been working on..

[@Wengelsworkshop]

Lol I appreciate you noticing. Ive been good, just super busy with other projects and life. Been about 3 months since i made a knife, but that will change when i finish my kitchen remodel.

[@agentcovert]

@@Wengelsworkshop yeah life happens all the time..at the end of the day it's night..lol

[@Lmr6973]

If that pin is bothering you too much I'll send you my address and you can just ship that eye sore me. Problem solved.😁

[@T_B]

Can I buy the blue knife?

[@Wengelsworkshop]

I think I'm gonna hold onto it. Thanks for the interest though!

[@skellchittenden349]

[̲̅p][̲̅r][̲̅o][̲̅m][̲̅o][̲̅s][̲̅m] 👍

[@ekie85]

Anyone here would help me to get the tools and material please I would like to get into making knives. Thank you

[@dylansue3519]
